I mean, I said "those who can intervene" and started listing them. It's a 4-sentence long comment, IDK what to tell you.

I feel like "the rest of the world does not care enough because it’s all happening too far away" is a bit disingenuous

Not really. You just took one sentence out of my comment and decided to zoom in on it, ignoring the rest of the comment for some reason.

In the context of my comment, I clearly mean:

Those who can intervene from the rest of the world do not care because it's happening too far away.

Civil movements can put pressure on governments, but they have no executive power; ergo, they cannot intervene.

The South African army is ~40k soldiers, no? I don't think they have the power to intervene; ergo, my statement does not apply to them.

I'm more calling out an entity like the Chinese government, who has the military and political power to do something, but do not care enough because they stand to gain nothing if they stop it.

They said the quiet parts out loud long time ago, and those who can intervene around the world said they did not care.

Europe does not care what Israel does as long as no one calls them Nazis.

The US has strong economic and political ties with Israel and too many Zionists to intervene.

The rest of the world does not care enough because it's all happening too far away.
